Beroun: Husovo náměstí
The landscape around Beroun is formed by wooded hills between the Křivoklátsko region and the Bohemian Karst, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The town lies where the Litavka meets the Berounka, west of Prague, and its historic core developed as a royal town in the 13th century. Husovo náměstí remains Beroun’s civic centre, framed by townhouses and the late-Gothic town hall. Two surviving medieval gateways, Plzeňská brána and Pražská brána, recall the former walls. Beroun is also closely associated with the limestone landscapes and cave systems of the nearby Bohemian Karst, while the protected Křivoklátsko landscape lies to the west.

Beroun sits at the confluence of the Berounka and Litavka rivers in the Central Bohemian Region, where the wooded Křivoklátsko landscape meets the limestone terrain of the Bohemian Karst. Its compact historic centre retains the Plzeňská and Pražská gates, surviving elements of medieval fortifications that recall Beroun’s position on the route between Prague and Plzeň. The Berounka gives the town a strong riverside character, while the surrounding protected areas lead into forests, cliffs and cave systems, including the nearby Koněprusy Caves. Pottery markets also continue a local craft tradition in the town centre. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare river valleys and karst settings around Beroun.

Karlštejn Castle, founded by Charles IV in 1348, recalls the medieval importance of this area; Kutná Hora preserves the legacy of silver mining that once ranked among the kingdom’s key sources of wealth.
